Question

select the statement that does not contribute to the sinking of global wind patterns changes in salinity upwelling events changes in temperature

Explanation:

Upwelling events involve the movement of deep - cold, nutrient - rich water to the surface. They do not contribute to the sinking of water. Global wind patterns can drive water movement including sinking. Changes in salinity can affect water density and thus sinking as denser (more saline) water can sink. Changes in temperature also affect water density (colder water is denser and can sink).

Answer:

upwelling events
